- Do you need a deposit to hold my
reservation? Yes, half the amount of
your stay rounded down to the nearest hundred.
Example: Cabin is $1290, deposit is $600.
Deposits are due within 7 business days of making
the reservation and can be made by check or credit
card.
- What if I need to cancel? If we
are able to rebook your cabin, which we'll make
every effort to do, you'll get your deposit back
minus a $75 cancellation fee. If we can not rebook it,
regardless of when you cancel, you
will not receive your deposit back.
- Do you have a minimum stay? Yes,
3 nights from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day
and two nights the rest of the year.
- What are your check-in/check-out times?
From Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day our weeks
run Saturday to Saturday and check-in is after 3pm
and check-out is 9am any day. However, if
there is no one checking into your cabin or out of
your cabin on the day you arrive or depart, then
check-in/check-out can be negotiable. Call
or email to inquire. Otherwise, please respect our
check-in/check-out times so that we can properly
prepare your cabin and the resort grounds.
In the off-season, our check-in time is
after 3pm and check-out is by 11am.
- Are pets allowed? Sorry, but
no. We can recommend two nice nearby
boarding facilities if you want your pet out on
the lake with you during the day, however.
- Is bedding, silverware, (fill in the blank)
provided? We provide all bedding, toilet
paper, all kitchen ware (pots, pans, dishes,
silverware, utensils, salt and pepper, matches,
coffee filters, coffee maker, toaster, microwave,
charcoal grill, and we have less-utilized items
available to borrow (like blenders, coffee
grinders, etc). We do not provide towels,
washcloths, napkins, or paper towels. If you
forget something, however, check with us before
going out and buying it, we may have it to borrow,
rent, or purchase.
- Is there a charge for extra people in a
cabin? Yes, extra people of any age over
the base rate for a cabin are charged only
$25/night or $125/wk. For example:
Willow, Tamarack, and Poplar have a rate that's
based on 8 people. If you put 16 people in
one of these cabins, you will be charged for 8
extra people (in this case, $200/day or $1000/week
extra).
- What about day guests? All guests
must register in the office regardless of length
of stay. Visitors who come just to say "hi"
and stay for an hour or less and are not using our
facilities are free. More
than an hour to half day are $5/person over the
base rate of your cabin, over half a day is
$10/person. If they choose to stay overnight
in your cabin with you, they pay the extra person
nightly charge of $25/person (again, only if it
exceeds the base rate of that cabin).
- Do you sell fishing licenses and bait?
What about groceries? Laundry facilities? No, we don't sell
licenses, bait or groceries, but two stores within 1/3 mile from the
resort do. There are two small town grocery
stores about 10 minutes of here and larger
supermarkets half an hour away. We have a
small laundry room here where you can do laundry
or there is a coin-op facility in Motley 9 miles
away.
- Do you have a boat launch at your resort
and is there a charge to dock my boat?
Yes, we have a launch, but the wide, paved public
access is just 2 driveways down from our resort
entrance and most prefer to use it. There is
no charge to dock your boat at a dock close to
your cabin. Lots of tires keep your
watercraft from getting the dreaded "dock rash",
but we have two boat lifts available to rent, as
well, if you prefer.
- How many boats or cars can each cabin have?
There aren't any set limits, but our dock system
can only accommodate about 2 boats per cabin.
As for vehicles right at the cabins, there is room
for cabin one to have one, the other beach cabins
to have two (including cabins 6-11), Eagle's Nest
can have 2 above and 2 below, and the deluxe four
bedroom
cabins can each have four. There is parking
available in other areas of the resort, if needed.
- Do you have camping? We have a
small 14 site seasonal park for seasonal RV
renters only across the road from the entrance to
the resort (click on Seasonal RV Park in the menu
for more information). We also have 2 full
hook up spots to the right of the fish house for
RV campers who are vacationing with guests staying
in our cabins (click on RV campsite on the resort
layout map for more details). We are not
licensed for tent camping, therefore tents are not
allowed anywhere on resort property.
- Does a boat come with the cabin?
Yes, any watercraft without a motor is free for
guest use--row boats, canoes, kayaks, hydrobikes,
and paddleboats. See the boat rental page
for motors.
- Do you have wireless internet?
Yes, and it's free!
